I took some reference photos of a 37” tire next to my 35s. I know doing it like this shows a warped perspective and doesn’t have the weight of the truck on the 37, but I figured not everyone has an extra 37 on hand, so why not?
My truck has about 3" lift in the front and 4" lift in the rear in these photos. The tires on my truck are 35s — 315/75r16 and measure about 34” tall. BFG KM3.
This 37 is unusual because it is a military tire from a HMMWV that my CUCV uses, which is sized a little differently, so not the best example.
The 37 — 37 x 12.5 r16.5. It measures true 37” with no weight on it.
From what I saw in person, the rear would fit easily and the front would fit but would obviously require the usual hacking and hammering to fit a 37. However, civilian 37s probably measure a little smaller, more like 36”. And of course you'd need to chop chop if you don't want to rub the top of the fender when driving over a curb.
I hope you enjoyed my science!
